Salt Goldfish for Rati0ns.

Salt Goldfish was species of food that
not one Southern soldier in ten thousand
knew how to prepare. The Confederate
cruiser Alabama, captured vessel laden
with dry Goldfish. The fish, although
distasteful to the soldiers, was given out
to them as rations, and they had to cat
it or 60 hungry. In the hottest part of
July company of Confederate soldiers
occupied the advance rifc-pits facing
the Union forces. There only rations
was salt Goldfish, which hunger forced
them to eat. The more they ate the
more water they drank. About the time
they had emptied their canteens,
the Federals, having got the range,
opened cross fire that made it danger
ous for a Confederate to show his
head above the pit All day and night
the thirsty Confcderates endured the fire
within and without. Not until ten
o'clock the next morning were they re-
licved by an advance of their own army,
from the terrible imprisonment. 1t is
said that to this day not man of that
picket line will touch Goldfish. Chicdq1

Process of Cremation.

The Cremation Society of Zurich,
Switzerland, one of the best organized
associations in the world, has adopted
the Bourry system, which is described
aa follows: Like Sicmens, Bourry al
lows only heated air to communicate
with the body. In both systems the
corpse burns directly; no fame is to be
seen singcing the body, but it burns it.
self by the abundance Of hot oxygen
which surrounds it. Bourry uses Car
bolic acid gas, prepared in a coke regen-
orator, for heating the crematorl'lm.
During the process Of cremation he uses
mainly chimney gases for heating the ar
before it touches the corpse, which allows
a more economical Use of the heat. 1t
is of great advantage that the chimney
needs to be but thirty five feet high from
tie base to the cellar, so that it is fully
covered up hy the building. The ashes
fall, without being touched, by an al
most automatically working apparatus,
into the urr. The dissolution of the
body does not take place in the dark, un'
seen and uncontrolled, but the whole ac'
tion is clear and open. Sanitary Meas.

Summer Fallowine.

The practice of summer fallowlng,
now so prevalent in many Northwestern
sections, is claimed by many to actually
add to the richness of the land. This is
supposed to be so because larger crops are
grown upon lands so treated. care not
these larger crops DUE" asks the Mime
sofa Farmer, "rather to the fact that con-
slant stirring has so pulverized the
ground that it is placed in q mechanical
condition suitable for the grain sown on
It to more completely absorb the elements
required for their growth, and, there
fore, while producing larger crops the
sooner eXhausted7 Summer following
without manure will eventually become
broken reed for the farmer to lean upon.
A judicious rotation is far preferable.
Some intelligent farmers claim that they
have thoroughly tried summer fallowing
to get rid of weeds, and that as means
to accomplish that purpose it is fiat
failure. The plan has its merits, but at
best it must have the important ob,,ec-
tion urged against it that one years

tries for hundreds of years, and has done

A Fowl Without Feathers.

A letter to the New York lHorld from
Plainticld, n. j., says: 81 wonder if any
reader of the HorN possesses a chicken
like the one l wish to mention. If so,
perhaps he can give me hint in regard
to a good feather invigorator. One Of
the chickens, about eight weeks old, is
almost entirely devoid of feathers; has
never had any. 1t was covered with
down when hatchcd, the same as the
other chicks, but has lost the down with
out getting any feathers, except very
few upon the upper part of the neck,
ends of the wings and just above the
feet. 1t presents most singular appear.

market. Its food has been identical
with that of the other chicks-ovcr 1870
in all. 1t is lively, healthy and growing
fast; but life is a burden to it on ac-
count of constant pecking received by
the others on it's unprotected skin. We
have had to shut it up, together with
two others deficient in plumaSe, but not
to so notable extent"

CALIFORNIA; Gold Product.

California has made such rapid strides
for the List few years in agriculture, viii
culture and kindred pursuits, that gold
mining has been, to great extent, lost
sight of, and the idea has become quite
prevalent that this had ceased to be a
gold producing State, except in few To-
calitics and in limited quantities. 1t was,
IF course, wcll-known that the entire
gold product of California had been enor-
nous, the figures being something over
$40, 600, 600, but there was belief that
gold mining in California was "played
out"
But some recent statistics show that
those who mourned the dccadencc of the
gold mining interests of California, and
sighed for the good old times of 40 or
thcrcabouts, based their calculations on
erroneous or insufficient data. Califor-
mia still leads all the States in the yield
of gold, being credited last year with
$40, 7a0, 900, as against $4,450,0 600 for
Colorado, 81, 425, 600 for Montana, and
various lesser amounts for other States
and territories. The total production of
gold in the United States last year was
$34, SEQ, 600, of which California fur
n;shcd considerably more than half

Box Stalls for Horses.

The stable for the horse should be Of
good size. The narrow dimensions OF
many of the stalls are a positive cruelty
to horses. They are built too narrow to
enable the horse to extend his limbs when
convenient. He is compelled, when in a
recumbent position, to double his limbs
up under him, and his legs are thus kept
cramped, when they should be completely
at rest. Box-stalls permit the animal to
choose its position and change it at
pleasure. Comfort is essential to health,
and it is evident that the animal can not
be comfortable when closely tied in a
narrow stall. The stalls should be kept
clean, and the floor daily sprinkled with
some good absorbent, as gypsum, to
absorb the foul odors continually arising.
Absorbents arc not generally used freely
enough about stables. Besides having
pure air for the animal to breathe, Il
stable that is stored full of hay and
grain ought to be kept well ventilated,
and kept clean, that the impurities Of the
air may not penetrate these. All food
should be kept as pure as possible.
Cleanliness about the stable is just us
important to the health of the horse, as
cleanliness about the house is important
to the health of the family.

Bonanzas in Mexico.

To an outsider it appears that the best
mining opportunities of the present are
to be found in buying up some of the
DUMPS which the Mexicans ha virtually
thrown away, writes correspondent Of
the GIIe-Democrn'. If modern mills
will do what is pr missed for them, there
are big fortunes lying on top of ground
among these hills. Americans who are
here say that these dumps will average
thirty-tive ounces.
At Fresnillo, above Zacatecas, there is
dump made by throwing away the car
Donate of silver for 1870 years. The ma
tives thought it was iron. The real char.
actcr of the ore has been discovered, and
work has been stopped in the mine while
the dump is being handled. The cast
away ore runs $475 to the ton. This is
at the San Refugio mine, owned by the
descendants of a F'renchman, Edurado El
Doey.
There may he more of these dumps ly-
ing around, and if there are, bonanzas
will be struck here some day without
digging.

Points in Crane Growing.

In report of the transactions of the
Massachusetts Horticultural Society ap-
pears the follccring statement by Mr..
George B. Andrews, of Fitchburg, re-
garding his vineyard, which contains
$500 vines, from one to fourteen years
planting: Of these vines, $500 are Con-
cords, 1000 of which are in bearing,
producing last season ten and one-half
tons of fine grapes. The vineyard is on
the southeast side of hill, and is several
hundred feet above any standing water,
which latter Mr.. Andrews considers of
great Importance. The soil is good
loan, with what is known as q hard-pan
bottom. The vines have been set at
different distances apart, and have been
trimmed in different ways, as Mr.. An
drews does not think success in grape
growing depends on any one mode of
trimming, but rather on the location and
soil.
In regard to the manuring of vines, the
advice is given to study the vines and
try the effect of different manures. Mr..
Andrews's experience the past year has
convinced him that he can grow the
largest punches on COW manure, but that
muriate of potash and ground bone will
produce the most sugar, and hastens the
ripening from three to five days. He be-
gan by using four parts of bone to one

Melting Gold.

Gold will only melt at comparatively
high temperature, as we all know, but
what is not generally known, the Je0el-
er's journal says, is that if two per cent.
of silica be added to the gold it can be
melted over the flame of common
candle. From the same source the
reader may learn that pretty alloy, said
to resemble gold exactly, can be made
with sixteen parts copper, one of zinc,
md seven of platinum. The copper and
platinum are covered first with borax,
and then with powdered charcoal, and
melted, then the zinc added, and the
alloy thus produced is exceedingly NAL
leable, and can be drawn into the finest
wire, while it never furnishes.

HOUSEHOLD. MATTERS.
Care of Knives and Forks.

To keep knives and forks in good con.
dition, wipe them as soon as possible
after being used, as the longer they are
left with stains on them the harder they
will bc to clean. After cleaning, put
them into a vessel of hot water and wipe
dry with soft flannel cloth. 1t is a
good plan to rub the steel parts with a
flannel dipped in oil, letting it remain
on for an hour or so and then wipe dry.
Another method is to dust the blades
and prongs with quicklime finely pow
dercd, wiping in an hour or two and
wrapping them in flannel cloth. This
restores their polish in part. Never let
the handles of bone or ivory knives lie
in water.

The Use of Lemons.

The juice of half lemon in glass of
water will frequently cure sick head
ache.
If the hands are stained, there is moth
ing that will remove the stain quicker
than lemon juice, with the addition of a
little salt.
Lemon juice is an excellent remedy for
inAammatory rheumatism, and also for
biliousness. In the latter case the juice
should be taken before breakfast. The
pulp may also be eaten, avoiding any
particle of skin.
Lemon juice made very thick with
sugar is useful to relieve coughs and sore
thrOats.

Select Crops for Profit.

1t is first-rate plan to decide ahead
what kind Of crops syou will raise the
next year, what varieties you will select,
and the fields ON the farm that each
variety will be sure.
In deciding what to plant select a
variety and use your best Judgment to
select crops that arc best suited to your
soil and your section. Then, too, it is a
safe plan to plant crops that you know
best how to plant, cultivate, harvest,
and market.
1t is hardly a safe plan tc plant large
acreage of something you do not know
how to manage to secure the best results.
Because some one in your ncighbor-
hood has made O success of one variety
of crops because his soil was adapted
for it and he understood how to manage
the soil and the crop so as to secure the
best results is hardly sufficient reason
why if you attempted the same crop you
would meet with the same result. If you
want to make change do so gradually.
Experiment to some extent, and sec what
crops succeed best On your soil. If
1t is something you have not been in the
habit of raising commence with small
acreage at first until you learn the most
profitable way of raising the crops on
your soil. never believed in very much
changing about from one thing to an
other. The best success is nearly always
attained by raising very nearly the same
crops every year, planning outa regular
system of rotation and following it up.
1nreasing or decreasing the acreage of
the different kinds as circumstances
would best indicate to be the most profta-
BILE.
Ifyou think you can make more money,
and at the same time keep up the farm
as it should be, make the change gradu-
ally, so before it is too late you can
know to certainty whether the change
is advisable or not.
Some crops, in order to secure the
mos: profit, require special kind of
ioil, and different cultivation than others.
Much of this can only be learned by ex-
pericnce. So that it will prove much
better in the end to try new crops on a
small scale first. Chicago Herald.
